Need definitive i.d. is it L-129 or L-318??

Post by crazyred »

Okay, I bought a "scribble pleco" a while back that was listed as L-129, but I've had a knowledgeable person on another site tell me that it looks more like a L-318. Can anyone verify this i.d.? I know it's a hypancistrus, but what L number and does it matter anyway????

P/S: Here is a link to a blurry pic (sorry---sucky digi camera) Image


Here's another....he's in his cave.

It looks like a Zebra Pleco to me. But hey, I'm not an expert :lol: ! Ask MattsP or Jools or somebody along those lines.
